The innovative thinkers of the Next Generation Project of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy -- experts from business, government, nongovernmental organizations, and academia -- propose reforms that balance environmental efforts with other public needs and issues. They call for new foundations for environmental law and policy, adoption of a more diverse set of policy tools and strategies (economic incentives, ecolabels), and new connections between critical sectors (agriculture, energy, transportation, service providers) and environmental policy. Future progress must involve not only officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state environmental protection departments, say the authors, but also decision-makers as diverse as mayors, farmers, energy company executives, and delivery route planners. To be effective, next-generation policy-making will view environmental challenges comprehensively, connect academic theory with practical policy, and bridge the gaps that have caused recent policy debates to break down in rancor. This book begins theprocess of accomplishing these challenging goals.
"More than a must-read, this book demonstrates how a broader ecological approach can achieve sensible and lasting environmental policy". -- Philip K. Howard, author of The Death of Common Sense
